Shooting and Fucking
are the same thing!

A ghost story, according to early 20th century ghost story master M.R. James at least, should make you feel like the events could happen to you if you're not careful.

I think his only story where the protagonists was a killer all along is Stalls of Barchester and maybe arguably the Ash Tree where a nobleman is killed by giant spiders for testifying against an alleged witch which results in her being hanged. But in both those it's not a twist and fairly obvious from the go. The rest are mostly middle aged academics just sort of ambling into the supernatural.

Most people aren't secretly killers or something so I think a random and probably decent dude just stumbling into a spooky situation out of pure bad luck or morbid curiosity is a lot more effective than "oh no turns out You were the real monster all along '.

If I were smarter I could write an essay about Western ideas of individualism results in ghost stories where bad things happen to bad people, you walked into the forest at night what'd you expect getting taken by the bogeyman, while Eastern ghost stories are "bad circumstances can befall anyone at any time and only cleverness or luck will ensure your soul doesn't get sucked from your anus."

I didn't end up finishing the game because I heard that to get the good ending you had to not destroy any of the monsters trying to kill you which is fine if you want to go to a thematic thing for PTSD but it's poo poo to learn that halfway through the game you shouldn't be engaging with the things the game told you to. Spec Ops the line this is not.

It's really bizarre because all of the other good ending requirements make sense - don't gently caress with any of the weird totems or carved figures, don't listen to the Witch when she tells you to do things - but there's really no indication that the thing you mentioned is bad.

but will it live up to the creepiness of "I walked. I could do nothing but walk. And then I saw me walking in front of myself. But, it wasn't really me. Watch out. The gap in the door... is a separate reality. The only me is me. Are you sure the only you is you?"

My money is on "main character already committed suicide" by all the insults written all over those hallways.

It'll probably be a good silent hill. Or a bad silent hill. Or an okay silent hill. Let's workshop what the hell a "silent hill" even is at this point after lunch.

ito said the project he was working on was still being worked on in 2021

leaker isnt 50/50, i've been following them for awhile, its more 80/20, with the 20 turning out to be intentional faked info about re3r by capcom to flush the main source out and they were successful, which is why you dont get capcom leaks since the ransomware attack anymore. unless it was accidental like wesker VO randomly breaking nda and dropping the re4r concept art of wesker.

Don't know how I feel about any of that SH stuff except I'll say I really like the concept art with the "note monster". Love the cherry blossom imagery, the shades of pink and red, and I really appreciate how visually different it is from previous Silent Hill games.

I refuse to believe a new Silent Hill game is coming until the box with a disc inside is physically in my hands.

This is what the.....9th or 10th time we've had a "NEW SILENT HILL TOTALLY COMING U GUISE!" since Silent Hill got cancelled like 7 years ago?

It's not real until it's on a store shelf, and even then I have extreme doubts that it won't just be another total mess of a game like the last 3 SH console games.

I'm saying I have literally 0 faith in Konami to actually pull off what Capcom did with their resurrection of the RE franchise.

Silent Hill should stay dead. Its DNA is already found in almost every new horror game these days, for better or worse, and the talent needed for a good Silent Hill game would be put to better use exploring new avenues for horror.

I don't thinks it's a fundamental problem with the genre, like Silent Hill 3 is a kind of positive story about a teenager getting an abortion with the help of her dad, there's probably plenty of novel angles you could take with the format but it's a simple go-to to just have a protagonist be in denial about their actions so you can do a shocking rug pull later on

I'll be curious to see how the tv show works out. I know they love their cross media stuff, but it's mostly been tied in more directly alongside the games, having a separate show with an actual network will be interesting.
